A mausoleum is a large, stately tomb or building that houses the remains of the deceased, often designed to be a memorial or tribute. Typically constructed from durable materials like marble or stone, mausoleums can be found in cemeteries or as standalone structures. They are often elaborately decorated and may contain multiple burial chambers for families or notable individuals. The term derives from the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, built for Mausolus, a satrap of the Persian Empire.
